At this stage in their life it would be a tricky move to go from soil to soiless. The root mass will be too big and it will suffer heavy shock most likely. You should reserve that for smaller plants or cuttings, but then again, you should just start out soiless if that's how you want to go.
Rule of thumb for pot size is this, for every foot you want your plant to end up at, use one gallon of soil. So for instance, if you want to grow 5 ft tall plants, you should be using at least a 5 gallon container. If you flipped your plants at 1.5-2 ft i would error on the side of too big. At minimum i would use a 3 gallon pot, but if i were you, i'd look into 5 gallon containers as your plants are going to get biiiiig. Transplant as soon as you can, you don't want to wait too long for that.
Don't bother with the guanos now, your plants only need N for first two weeks of flowering, then it's best to let them use up the N they have built up for the rest of the cycle. If you want to feed them some N, you can make a guano tea, or you can just buy a bottle of N heavy nutes.
With your current nutes i would suggest feeding at most 1/4 strength until you're sure your plants can take it. That's a really heavy bloom formula, it would be really easy to over fert with it.
because you can't just transplant into a soilless mixture, you have to wash off all of the soil. Doing so will damage the roots. It's not a death sentence, but, it's not easy on the plants either. Like i said, it's possible with smaller plants, but when you're trying to wash off a gallons worth of soil and then transplant that into a new medium, the shock may be too much for the plant to handle.
He can try it if he wants, i just wouldn't suggest it.
The whole point of soiless growing is using a mixture that's devoid of all nutes. By placing a block of soil you essentially defeat the purpose of planting in a soiless mixture. Not to mention you wont have the added bonus of a Ph balanced mixture, and im sure the water drainage would be a bit different as well.
If you want to grow soiless, start it out that way, if you want to switch from soil to soiless your window of opportunity is when the plant is very small.

It doesn't work that way
Quote: anyone ever tried this strain?
never tried it, but paradise is a good company to order from for beginners because their genetics are cheap. This way if you do fuck up, or if they turn out to be all male, you won't have wasted a hundred dollars or so on seeds. I'm sure it will be just fine.
it comes from dr chronic, he buys the seeds wholesale from breeders and retails them on his site. Don't know where you live, but expect a 2 week delivery time most likely. Takes a bit to get overseas if you're in the states.
